Auctions like this confirm my suspicion why PCI is currently so popular and has inherited the position ACG once had among eBay coin sellers. Break up a proof set, slab the best ones, and cite a fantasy value with no basis in the real market.
This seller is well documented here, as is recent PCI grading. What is not is a former PCI grader's correspondence in which he told me why he left the company after a few months. He got tired of submitters approaching him asking for "gimme" grades. They regularly told him that any proof coin minted after 1987 or so was a 69, so the exceptional ones they submitted should be 70s. If the coin was older, the requests were only a point or two lower.
